Democrats DELIVER!

Decades of promises were finally fulfilled last week when the House passed, and President Biden signed, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (aka Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan - BIF). We can look forward to the long-awaited mega-investment in roads, bridges, airports, clean water, expanded broadband, and measures to combat climate change.
 
ACTION: CALL our electeds to offer a personal THANK YOU for their perseverance and skill in doing what administrations since Richard Nixon (that’s nine of them) could not do!
 
President Biden (202-456-1111), House Majority Leader Pelosi (202-225-4965), Senate Majority Leader Schumer (202-224-6542), Sen. Gillibrand (202-224-4451), and Rep. Delgado (202-225-5614)
You could also send an email to House Progressive Caucus Chair Pramilla Jayapal and thank her for fighting to keep the BIF and BBB bills together as long as she could!

FLEX your Grassroots Muscle
 

Next on the agenda this week is the Build Back Better Act (BBB), which still needs grassroots muscle to pass this transformative social compact with Americans. It will dramatically improve people’s lives. The BBB framework will:

  • Make life more affordable for middle-class workers and their families – paid for by ensuring the wealthiest pay their fair share.
  • Create jobs to make our economy more resilient to climate change fueled disasters like floods, wildfires, hurricanes, and droughts — saving Americans money and building a cleaner, fairer, and more productive economy
  • Extend the American Rescue Plan's expanded Child Tax Credit and Earned-Income Tax Credit — benefiting millions and continuing the largest one-year reduction in child poverty in history.
  • Make health care, childcare, and caring for elderly Americans more affordable
ACTION: Let's amplify the message with our own personal stories. Keep calling your members of congress with how BBB will improve your life!
 
MESSAGING: HOW BBB WILL EASE INFLATION

FINALLY: PASS THE FREEDOM TO VOTE ACT!

Does how to fix our government keeps you up at night? Listen to Mark Ruffalo, Jonathan Scott, and Jake Johnson: The Freedom to Vote Act bans gerrymandering, makes Election Day a holiday, makes elections more secure, and empowers voters.
ASK FOR IT TODAY.

ACTION:  Call Senate Majority Leader Schumer: (202) 224-6542

Script:  "Hi, my name is [NAME], and I’m calling from [TOWN]. Please do whatever is necessary to overcome a potential filibuster from Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans to get the Freedom to Vote Act through the Senate and to President Biden's desk. New Yorkers have your back to pass this bill by any means necessary. Thank you for your hard work."

INTRODUCING:  NO SURRENDER NY

Ready to take the Fight to Radical Right in New York? Ready to build New York as a firewall to secure a Democratic majority in the U.S. House (only Illinois and New York have the capacity to do so, according to Axios)? Then join No Surrender NY, a new PAC designed and administered by local grassroots activists (not the political consultant industrial complex) which launched this week. We are partners!
